About this statute

This article says the attached regulation sets safety measures for transporting, loading/unloading, and storing flammable liquids, with a separate regime for sea ports in Bas-Congo. Breaking the attached regulation can lead to up to two months’ penal servitude, a fine of up to 2,000 francs, or one of those penalties alone. The flash point of flammable liquids is to be determined using the Granier or Luchaire apparatus. This article repeals an earlier ordinance and classifies flammable liquids into three groups based on flashpoint. Les liquides inflammables peuvent être emballés en colis ou en vrac. Les colis contenant des inflammables doivent être métalliques, étanches et résistants, avec une fermeture absolument étanche aux gaz pour les colis des premier et second groupes.
